a beast full of bees

This cramping can get to hell though. And this is the cramping while well medicated still.

My doc put my music request on the stereo (Demon Days, a comfort album of going on 20 years) and I had a lot of clear communication of what she was going to do, prep in terms of pain and anxiety management

Update: don't have to worry about the IUD for another 5-7 years now. My body is deeply unhappy but this procedure went about 100× better than the first one.

Hell yeah 🍦🍨🍦🍨🍦

I'm kicking myself and need to at the least restock the disposable masks in the car this weekend!

I managed to forget my flo mask going to this medical procedure and we apparently don't have any n95s in the car right now. so I'm limited to the free surgical mask they have at the office.

I am getting tom kha gai for me unch because it is Soup Weather

i am so sleepy today

The *easiest* way to prevent the spread of disinformation and misinformation is to verify claims before you repeat them. The more frequently a claim is repeated, even if it's known to be false, the more likely people are to believe it. So, only share information verified to be true.

therapy homework:
- Remember you will be ego dystonic while you are on prednisone.
- Work on doing a TIP exercise for 3-5 minutes once per day. The goals is to lower your baseline anxiety.
- Plan for show and tell for an art project next week (zine or whatever).

sometimes even i am deeply dubious about some claims in my field

absolutely, that totally makes sense! doctor is gender neutral and marks expertise that you are working hard for!

i am fully about the ageing process, i just don't want the authority figure piece or gendering attached to me!

nothing has made me so grateful to be ageing in the pacific northwest than the realization that i'm hitting the age i'd be getting mister'd in the midwest and south

The perception of ghost oft begins with the story we tell ourselves about it, the language employed. If we think of a place as ghost-burdened rather than ghost-graced, we shape encounter as surely as potter shapes clay. When it comes to spectres, words matter. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

I am living for the sumo wrestlers having fun playing tourists while preparing for the sumo tournament in London

Also I did dishes and laundry today and my ankle is about half as fucked as it usually is!

I can tell the prednisone is working because my watch band needed to be tightened :')

A person of ANY gender or orientation saying, even jokingly, that being attracted to men is gross or embarrassing is homophobic.

I don't care that you're making a joke. What message are you sending to men attracted to men when you say this?

"Who cares about men" - I do. A man who loves men.

(I'm pretty sure this is going to turn into one, and possibly a doozy of one)

Entering day 3 of a mania watch for P (multiple days of poor sleep, unusually high energy, elevated mood)

I'm awake but not out of bed but hungry, which means everything feels terrible. But it's also a warm soft comfortable bed. It's a dilemma.

On the other hand, maybe I will be able to breathe without choking on phlegm by the end of it all

About to have a bad party time: three weeks of antibiotics, two weeks of a taper of steroids, and multiple doses of an antifungal

nothing chatgpt has done is as impressive as akinator, the mind-reading internet genie from 2007

It's the fucking worst. Sending you to"body chill the fuck out" vibes 💙💙💙🫂

A digital, pencil-style drawing of Lou, a skinny wasian cowgirl with a black bob and cyan skin, falls throughout an oversized queen of hearts card. She is wearing a dingy green bra, red cowboy boots, and an embarrassed expression.
